This invention relates to improvements in charcoal heated sad irons and has for one of its principal objects the use of transmitting means, preferably in the form of studs, for transmitting heat from the fuel bed to the bottom of the iron.

The invention will be more fully described in connection with the accompanying sheet of drawing and will be more particularly pointed out in and by the appended claims.

In the drawing: Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical section of a sad iron embodying one form of my invention. Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional View thereof. Fig. 3 is a rear elevation thereof.

Like characters of reference designate similar parts throughout the different figures of the drawing.

As illustrated, the device of my invention includes a hollow ironing body provided with a fuel grate I), having the usual grate openings 6 The bottom wall a of the iron is provided with transmitting studs a which are disposed in spaced relation with respect to each other and which project into the openings 6 sufliciently to enter the fuel bed thereon and effectively transmit heat to the bottom a of the iron. As illustrated, the studs a project slightly above the upper face of the grate b. The grate b has an upwardly projecting portion 6 which is attached to a portion of the iron at 12 It will thus be seen that a suitable space is provided below the grate b to receive the ashes, and to which space suitable draft openings it lead, the heat transmitting studs extend- Specification of Letters Patent.

I claim 1. A sad iron comprising in combination, a hollow ironing body provided with an ash discharge opening, and a grate above the bottom wall of said body having grate openings therein, said bottom wall having heat transmitting studs projecting into the grate openings and slightly above the grate to enter the fuel bed thereon, said studs being wedge shaped on that side thereof opposite said discharge opening, substantially as described.

2. A sad iron comprising in combination, a hollow ironing body and a grate above the bottom wall of said body having grate openings therein, said bottom wall having heat transmitting studs projecting into the grate openings and entering the fuel bed thereon, substantially as described.
